Clearly Very Strong Yet Excessively Timid

The timid Ming Luo unexpectedly arrives at the Suoma Continent, where demons and monsters run rampant. As the only human, she embarks on an unconventional path of cultivation to preserve her life.<...

Chapter 52: Avoiding Military Service

Chameleon, also known as the chameleon.

When Ming Luo realized that the Ye Zhihan who was touching her was not himself, she began to wonder what kind of monster he was.

Any warm-blooded animal will have some body temperature even if its hands and feet are cold. However, Fake Ye Zhihan is different. Its whole body is cold, which is no different from the ambient temperature. Chameleons are typical cold-blooded animals, so Mingluo suspected that Fake Ye Zhihan was the chameleon she had seen during the day.

No wonder she'd thought the evasive demon's behavior after disguising himself as a charming fox demon to seduce Ye Zhihan was off-putting. How could a female demon flirt with another female demon and show such infatuation? It turned out he was a man, and while he'd been flirting with Ye Zhihan in public, his real target was Ming Luo!

"What on earth do you want to do?" Ming Luo angrily questioned the beaten Bi Yi. Now that she had two big backers, Pang Tao and Ye Zhihan, by her side, she felt more confident in speaking.

"I...what I said...can you tell him not to kill me?" The evasive demon was beaten so badly that he couldn't even speak clearly.

Ye Zhihan wasn't a bloodthirsty or cruel person, as evidenced by the fact that he'd taken the Face Controlling Spider's life without even using a single blow. But now, Ye Zhihan was like a dark demon crawling out of the underworld. He was filled with rage, his only thought being to kill the Evil Spirit to avenge Ming Luo.

When he thought of the red half of Ming Luo's face he saw when he entered the room, he couldn't help but imagine what shameful things the evasion demon had done to her. When he thought about the evasion demon changing into his appearance and attacking the innocent Ming Luo, he was even more angry, and naturally the force of his fist on the evasion demon increased a bit.

Now this chameleon was beaten badly by Ye Zhihan. His face was covered in blood, several teeth were lost, his eyes were swollen, and his body was covered with scars from punches and kicks, so his biggest wish was to save his own life first.

Ming Luo and Ye Zhihan exchanged glances. Ye Zhihan understood and stopped the rain of punches, then tied up the demon tightly with a shadow rope.

In fact, Ye Zhihan had always been holding onto the aura of Bi Yi. He was able to control his anger and not cut off the neck of Bi Yi with a shadow sword, all because of what Ming Luo said during the day. She said that she also wanted to learn Bi Yi's imitation ability.

Mingluo nodded in understanding towards Ye Zhihan, smiled at him, then lowered his head and continued to say to Bi Yi Yao: "Whether he kills you or not is entirely up to me. As long as you tell me why you attacked me, I will spare your life."

The evasive demon quickly agreed. He spat out a mouthful of blood and stammered as he told the reason.

It turned out that the Bi Yi demon took a fancy to the huge amount of spiritual power stored in Ming Luo's body. His realm had reached the fifth stage of Ming Po, and he was about to break through the barriers to reach the Gui Qing realm, but he encountered a bottleneck in his realm and could not break through. So he locked his eyes on Ming Luo, wanting to use the spiritual power in Ming Luo's body to help himself.

Ming Luo seemed to have only the second or third stage of Ming Po cultivation, and was only a plum tree demon that had just formed. He was definitely no match for the Bi Yi demon in a fight. During the day, the Bi Yi demon noticed that Ming Luo and Ye Zhihan had a close relationship, so he tried to get close to Ming Luo by changing into Ye Zhihan's appearance, so as to absorb the spiritual power in her body through intimate actions.

"Is that so?" Mingluo nodded thoughtfully.

When she thought of Ye Zhihan looking at her affectionately, her mood, which had finally calmed down, was immediately stirred up again. If the person who hugged her tonight was really Ye Zhihan, would she still resist so much?

No, no, no, Ye Zhihan has Sister Ling in his heart, and he is a righteous gentleman, he would never do such a despicable thing. Ming Luo shook his head vigorously to drive out the lewd images in his mind.

"I was blind and didn't expect that you were the lover of Lord Shadow Demon. Please let me go." The evasive demon continued to beg for mercy. He just wanted to absorb the spiritual power, but he didn't expect to meet the only shadow demon on the Suma continent. Although this shadow demon has not yet become powerful, there are many rumors about his brutality and bloodthirstiness.

"I said I would spare your life, but I didn't say I would let you go." Ming Luo's eyes were bright and he smiled innocently, but in the eyes of the Bi Yi demon, this smile was like a smiling devil.

She looked at Ye Zhihan's cold expression and added, "We are partners, not lovers, so don't yell."

Ye Zhihan took this as Mingluo's shy response and didn't take it seriously.

"Okay, okay, I won't scream. I just ask this fairy sister to let me live!" The evasive demon's heart skipped a beat. He was afraid that his life would be over here. He secretly lifted the tiles under him and released a small flying insect with a faint green light into the inn. The small flying insect flew straight into the room in the backyard of the inn.

"Don't worry, I don't want your life, I just want your ability." Ming Luo answered simply.

"You! You can actually seize powers?" The evasive demon opened its eyes wide and dodged backwards unconsciously. Seizing powers is a taboo for demons. Once a demon loses its powers, it will be beaten back to its original state without intelligence, and it will be difficult for it to enter the door of cultivation in its eternal life.

Therefore, for a demon, taking away its abilities is no different from death, even if it keeps its life.

The evasive demon's eyes flashed with ferocity, it was time to take action.

"It's not about seizing, it's..." Before Ming Luo could finish his words, Ye Zhihan pulled him to the other side of the eaves.

Ye Zhihan stretched out his finger to keep quiet, and he observed the surrounding situation cautiously.

Mingluo also noticed something was wrong. This night seemed too quiet.

Since practicing, Mingluo's perception ability has been much better than that of ordinary people. She found that there seemed to be golden objects moving at a high speed in the air around her, and there was a faintly visible cage where they had just stood.

The golden unidentified object kept attacking the location where Mingluo and Ye Zhihan were. Mingluo had to dive into the Shadow Pool and hide in the shadow of the eaves, while Ye Zhihan fought with the object that Mingluo could not see.

The moonlight was sparse, and Ye Zhihan's shadow blade was darker than the night. His black hair fluttered, and he flew up and down the roof with ghostly steps. His cold eyes made the whole night particularly cold.

However, the speed of the other thing was not inferior to Ye Zhihan. They chased each other, and the collision of their weapons produced dazzling sparks.

Ming Luo hid in the shadows, worrying about Ye Zhihan while observing the every move of the evasive demon. This evasive demon was quite powerful. He took advantage of the chaos to create a clone to lie in his place, while his original body became invisible and tried to escape.

Ming Luo had no intention of letting her go just like that. When she chased her out, she was equipped with a cloth bag and had already scattered seeds and plant branches on the roof. As soon as the chameleon took a step out of stealth, it stepped on the trap set by Ming Luo and immediately revealed its true form and was tied to the ground.

As soon as the chameleon demon pulled away one vine, another vine wrapped around it. In his injured state, he was entangled by these annoying vines and was in a state of exhaustion.
